This is an excellent art tutorial book on creating realistic, gorgeous works of art with paper collage. Price shows how to use magazine pages and other paper to make a series of pieces, working from simple to very complex. Price is best known for his pet portraits and there are several examples in here, with you always choosing your own images to use so your pieces are your own. I love that each project is inspired by a famous artist who you get to know through that piece. I am still not convinced I could end up with anything like his work but the book is thorough and inspirational.

Having been using collage longer than any other form, I engaged this book out of familiarity but not expecting to learn so much! I really appreciated the detail, history and unfolding of technique presented!

We aren't stranger to this sticking pieces of coloured paper and cloth onto paper and create a picture. But to take this basic skill to the new level we will need this book. Paper Collage Workshop is a wonderful guidebook to learning this art from scratch. The author provides reader with so much detail about the best material from paper until the glue and how to prepare it, tools, and the most important is an introduction to unique analog-grid system.

This book is organized by level of difficulty and designed to progressively build skills as you complete projects from beginner level such as form and mine into the landscape, abstracts, and pets. I personally delight in chance to learning new skill and completing beautiful projects I can frame and display.

Thank you for Netgalley, Samuel Price and Walter Foster from Quarto Publishing Group for provided me this copy. My thoughts are my own.

Paper Collage Workshop is an inspirational guidebook for creating collage projects using a variety of imaginative techniques. You will learn how to use an analogue grid system and a colour based collage technique with colour swatches torn from magazines and even photos. The book is organised by level of difficulty and is suitable for all levels. You will learn the foundations of collage and then move onto more difficult techniques. It is a book full of pictures and inspiration, and would make a great gift.
